Enness Private Clients has hired two brokers from John Charcol.

Shah Miah has five years’ experience of the mortgage market and prior to his spell at John Charcol worked for an independent financial advice firm in London specialising in residential and commercial finance. He has also worked at a private IFA firm in Kent.

David Habib has been a mortgage broker for nine years and before joining the home loan industry held a number of accountancy positions with blue chip companies in the travel and hospitality industry. He then worked for Countrywide Mortgage Services and Bradford & Bingley before establishing his own brokerage, Express Lending Solutions, in 2006.

Hugh Wade-Jones (pictured), director of Enness Private Clients, said: “These appointments, along with a number of other new team members who have started this year, are part of our ongoing expansion plans to help Enness field the huge number of enquiries we have received lately.

“Alongside this recruitment drive, we have also been in discussion with a number of private overseas banks about exclusive funding agreements to Enness in light of the changing property-buying landscape in big-ticket buyers in London.

“Shah and David are excellent additions to our team and will help us continue to build what we believe to be the number one high and ultra-high net worth specialist in the country.”
